I purchased this tap&amp;die set over 10 years ago and it was a great investment to my work as a Forklift mechanic.
As 1995 all trucks which I worked on went metric.
I would tell any person working now to purchase this set.
p.s. my set is made in the U.S.A.

not what i knew about craftmen

I am a diesel mechanic of 14yrs. the tap and dies are NOT garunteed. snap on is. I do not buy snapper crapper just because they are rediculously expensive, my broken ones will be replaced with snap on because sears does not warrenty taps and dies

The hex die set that is easy to get a grip into. Every items has some weight to it and it easy to handle. There are 75 pieces to work with the case it comes in is strong and should stand up to many uses.

Great to have around the garage, you just never know when you might need to make a repair on something and this is what you will need to make that repair , perfect set for the Homeowner or shade tree mech . Satisfied with my purchase from sears .

I got this tap and die set at the Black Friday sale at my local Sears. I work in a diesel performance shop and have many motorized toys and a tap and die set is something that I have been needing. When I purchased these the lady at the checkout somehow forgot to scan them so I did not have to pay for them, which I am kind of happy about. The quality of the taps is lacking, I understand that many companies are manufacturing things in China now and that it is almost required to stay in business. Many businesses are having parts manufactured there to stay in business and keep costs down, but this is one tool that needs to have high standards!!! My taps have several imperfections in the threads. It makes me scared to use them on anything I am trying to repair, as repairing the threads on things usually means it already broke once before. I do not want to mess it up repairing it. I do not mind if they are made in China, as long as the quality is great! These imperfections are small, but would still mess up the retreading of a hole. On the bright side the die sets seem to be free of imperfections. I am not sure if I got a bad set of taps, and I cannot return it since it is not on my receipt, but I am disappointed by the quality of the taps and I will probably never use most of them due to the defects.

I need taps and dies occasionally for several different tasks at work and in my hobbies. My old set (also Craftsman) had gotten messed up in a move so I needed another. This set was especially attractive because it had both SAE and metric.The quality is good and the set pretty complete for the money. I'd recommend it.

The 75 piece set comes with much more. I bought my set over a year ago but just recently used it for the first time. I was extremely impressed. I used it to chase the threads in multiple engine components as I pulled the engine in my 1967 Dodge apart. I also used it to remove two broken exhaust manifold studs by carefully drilling out as much of the stud as I could without damaging the thread in the heads and used the tap to cut out the remaining threads of the stud. Took some time, but worked flawlessly.
